Simple and interesting @Saltie cafe

On the run looking for a bite to eat? Saltie in Surry Hills is the place. Just up from central station on Devonshire St, is this great little takeaway. Saltie a simple, clean modern style with the coffee machine at the window, some bench seats and a selection of salads in view at the back of the shop.

Yass and staff are a friendly crew producing good coffee with some innovative options including the whippet and the coconut coffee. The coconut coffee is a coconut that has been cracked with an espresso poored in for a supercharge. Takes a few sips to get use to, not bad. Get your caffine kick and hydrate at the same time.

The food is good, keeping it simple with salads, poke, burgers and bacon and egg rolls.The salads all looked the goods, if you are on a health kick. The super bowl was super healthy and tasty. A bowl of super foods including kale and quinoa with a nice sweet soy and sesame sauce topped with an egg sunny side up. Great if you are into yolk porn.

There also is a range of burgers including a burgers for vegetarians. Although a little different, the chip burger bringing back childhood memories of the chip sandwich. A brioche bun filled with fries cheese, lettuce and a big mac sauce.

A great innovative cafe doing good stuff, well worth a visit if you are after something new and fresh. Thanks to Yass and the crew for the hospitality and thanks to CPM marketing for introducing us to Saltie.

Aroundtheclockfoodie

We started sharing our food and travel experiences on our personal facebook pages. Years ago we had also dabbled with the food review app urbanspoon. A friend of ours knew we were passionate foodies and suggested we check out Zomato food reviewing app, posting on Instagram as well as checking into and uploading on Yelp.
So it began, we created a joint Insta and Zomato account and our own personal Yelp accounts. We started taking photos with our phones, picking up a few tips at Insta foodie events. We have since graduated to taking Photos with our new favourite camera, the Sony QX100. A compact digital lens that connects to our phones through wifi. As for reviewing, we enjoyed using the Zomato, Yelp and trip advisor to find places to check out around Sydney and when travelling. We started reviewing to give back, hoping our posts would provide unbiased opionions and tips on places we have visited. We got addicted to the points system on Zomato are currently ranked 2 on the app for reviews and photos in Sydney. We became Yelp elites throught our contributions, even attended an elite event 'beginners guide to blogging' run by class bunny which has provided me with some info on where to start. It is great to see that there are many like minded people in Sydney and a thriving instafoodie, food blogging and reviewing scene in Sydney. It is mind blowing that our instagram, Zomato, Yelp and Tripadvisor accounts have so much reach with interaction from all over the globe.
I have been interested in starting a blog for a while, something that we could customise and add our own touch. This is it - hopefully we can give insight to some of the places we visit and that it will be useful to our subscribers.
